Good Dave you may be lucky, doesn't take much of a Carbon track for RF to
seekout,

Thanks for the reply.

This one certainly did some arcing....all burnt around the bottom of the
trap. I opened the trap as Z.Z. suggested. The wiring was intact, and the
nylon core had some melting around it, but I didn't see any damage to the
inner aluminum tube. I cleaned out the burnt stuff and cleaned up things.
Maybe I'll try it out again after I move and can reassemble the antenna.

I would feel much better if I could get a replacement trap, however.

Thanks again, all.
